Sell Her — That’s Right
Sell her,—that’s right! She is young, she is fair;
There’s the light of the sun in the coils of her hair.
And her soul is as white as the first flakes of snow
That are falling to-night. ’T is a bargain, a “go”
Sell her,—that’s right!
Sell her,—that’s right! For a bag full of gold.
Put her down in your ledger, and label her “Sold”
She’s only a beauty with somebody’s name,
And the Church for a pittance will wash out the shame.
Sell her,—that’s right!
